       katedec - decodes Kate streams to a textual description

SYNOPSIS

       katedec [-hVv] [-o outfile] [-t type] [ infile ]

DESCRIPTION

       katedec decodes Kate streams to libkate's custom description language.

OPTIONS

       -h     Show command line help.

       -V     Show version information.

       -v     Increase verbosity.

       -o outfile
              Write  the  output description file to the given file name (writes to stdout if not
              specified).  It is possible to write to multiple files (eg, if the  input  contains
              several  Kate  streams)  by  passing  printf style formatting tags in the filename.
              Formatting tags are strings starting with a '%'  character,  followed  by  the  tag
              itself. Known tags are:
                %    replaced by a verbatim % character
                l    replaced by the stream language
                c    replaced by the stream category
                s    replaced by the stream serial number, in hexadecimal format
                i    replaced by the index of the stream in the input file, starting from 0

       -t type
              Set the output format type:
                  kate: Kate description format
                  srt: SubRip format (non text information will be lost)

EXAMPLES

       Decodes a Kate stream to a textual description:

           katedec -o output.kate input.ogg

       Decodes several multiplexed Kate streams to SubRip files:

           katedec -t srt -o output.%l.kate input.ogg
